+> [!NOTE]
+> A basic Codespace (32gb of disk space) might run out of disk space when building biome or running the full test suite.
+> The pre-configured Codespace is therefor based on the premium image with 64gb of disk space.

 ## Testing
 
 You can either use `cargo` or `just` to run tests. For simplicity and running tests real quick, use `cargo`.
